As someone with ADHD I find it’s a common experience for many that we stay up all night. I’ve fought that in the past but now I kinda feel like I should just accept it. Go to bed late, get up late. However that’s not very conducive to a normal business routine.

How do you all handle your mornings and nights? Is it worth it even to try to change?

Is it worth it? Yes. Staying up late is bad for you in many different ways. Daylight hours are important for your health. Even divorced entirely from capitalist society and the need to work 8 hours a day, its still bad for your mental and physical health. I struggle with it too, but it absolutely is worth it to work on it.

I've had a couple of jobs where I worked nights, and I was never, ever able to properly adjust to it.

It was nice to have my free time during the day, but I always felt off while I was working.
